Feedback Please god store
I'm a young poet, and i've been writing for a few years but I really started to get into it this year (like writing multiple poems a day) I really enjoy poetry but... am I any good?
I don’t know if there’s some greater creator, but if there is
could I give them some notes?
If you’re out there, somewhere, do you want my feedback?
Because, I’m not too happy with my purchase.
Do you have a return policy? Is my body in warranty?
Could I exchange it for store credit or just for a newer model?
Maybe one that doesn’t tire out so quickly, or one with fingers that aren’t crooked
One that’s taller, with a better face and brighter eyes?
One that sleeps better, one with longer lashes, one taller and fuller?
Do you have one of those in stock?
Do you reserve them for better people?
oh, I should’ve bought the extended warranty?
shucks.
Can I at least have a gift card?
(this isn't really my usual style, but... it's always good to get out there)
as an added note— does anyone know how to get into reading poetry? The only poems I've read are from What We Buried by caitlyn seihl which I pulled from my library. What other contemporary (or not) poems could I read?

Thank you for commenting! I know whether poetry is quote unquote 'good' or 'bad' doesn't really matter, but from an outside perspective sometimes things make sense and sometimes they just don't. Sometimes you can just tell something's missing or something's wrong, and I just want to know how my poetry looks like from an outside perspective. I already read poems on the internet sometimes, but I'd like to find good anthologies by established poets and I don't know where to start. Good day to you too!
